CVE-2025-40108

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

serial: qcom-geni: Fix blocked task

Revert commit 1afa70632c39 (serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for serial driver) and its dependent commit 86fa39dd6fb7 (serial: qcom-geni: Enable Serial on SA8255p Qualcomm platforms) because the first one causes regression - hang task on Qualcomm RB1 board (QRB2210) and unable to use serial at all during normal boot:

The issue was reported on 12th of August and was ignored by author of commits introducing issue for two weeks. Only after complaining author produced a fix which did not work, so if original commits cannot be reliably fixed for 5 weeks, they obviously are buggy and need to be dropped.
